Do You Control Your Life

A lot of angry people out there are trying to control you and even kill you.

I bet you can list at least a dozen people trying to control you right now.

After I had money, I started thinking I needed to make more money – A LOT more. I started buying things I couldn't really afford. I felt people wouldn't like me if I didn't have these things.

I started lending money out to friends and family in the hopes of "helping" them. I thought people would like me if I "saved" them.

Once I started from scratch, I was able to begin the long process of reinventing myself.

I probably own nothing right now except some clothes and some books. And all my relationships, 100% of the people I talk with are only with people I choose to talk to.

If someone in my life tries to control me because of his own fears and angers, then he's out.
The Luck Equation

Luck equals Persistence plus Diversification.

1. Persistence is a sentence filled with failures punctuated by the occasional success.

2. Diversification means coming up with 1,000 ideas and implementing the 1% or 2% that seem reasonable.

Coming up with thousands of ideas means having the energy and creativity to brainstorm.

Energy equals Physical plus Emotional plus Mental plus Spiritual health.

All forms of health are a function of how much you control your own life divided by how much people control you.
